disaster occurred on the Fitchburg railroad
to-night, midway between Bandwell’s Fern
and West Deerfield, the east bound passen
ger tram from North Adams, due at Green
field ti.05, going over an embankment two
hundred feet high. Six ladies have already
been taken out of the ruins and it is not
known how many others have been killed
the train consisted of a baggage car
smoker, sleeping car, mail car and two ordi
nary passenger cars. The point where the
calamity occurred is the most dangerous on
the road. The track runs on the edge of an
embankment 200 feot above Deerfield river
The bank is steep and is covered with huge
boulders and masses of rock, with which
the road-bed had been filled. When tbe
train arrived at the point tlie track began to
settle uuder iV. for a distance covering its
entire length. The coaches broke from
their trucks and wcut rolling over and over
down tbe precipice. The engine broke
from tbe tender, tearing up the track for
200 feet. Below rolled tbe Deerfield river,
on the very edge of which tbe cars were
thrown. As soon as they struck thev caught
fire from tbe stoves. The shrieks of the
wounded and the dying filled the mr, and
for a time tbe scene was terrible. Tho
sleeping car was an entire wreck; it was oc
cupied by several passengers, not one of
whom at this hour ure known to have es
caped injury.
As soon on the news reached Greenville a
special train was made up and sent to the
scene of the disaster, having on board sev
eral phys elans and section men and a few
citizens. On arriving at the scene of the
wreck e horrible sight was wit
nessed. The darkness of night had
settled over tho spot. Far down on the
river bank could be seen the smoaldcring
embers of the wreck. Stout hearted train
men were lowered cautiously down tho
treacherous height uud thu work of rescue
b.gau. In the excitemunt there is much
repetition of detail and exaggeration in thc
stories of those who have visited the wreck
aud passengers«rescutd. Nineteen injured
Persons have been tboken to Tbulburne
■'alls, and tlie number of persons known to
bo dead is variously stated from six to thir
teen. Half a dozen of the injured will
probably die.
Among the fatally injured is Merritt Zcly,
superintendent ot the National Express
Company at Boston, and Engineer Little
john of the wrecked train. A brother of
Littlejohn was on the train with his wife
aud child. Littlejohn was seriously hurt
and his wife and child killed. A number of
persons arc missing, some of whom may
yet turn np.
Grkekfiklp, Mass., April 8.—Superin
tendent Adams, accompanied by a corps of
Boston reporters, reached the scene of tho
West Deerfield disaster at 2 o'clock this
morning. Throughout the night trainmen
worked in removing tbe wreck, and they
are still eDguged in tbe task. Up to
noon ten bodies, nine of which were
removed from beneath the submerged wreck
and the other from the car in which the vic
tims bad been burned to death, hud been
found. Ai- nearly as can now lie ascer
tained, 30 persons were wounded. Engi
neer Littlejohn died this morning. Con
ductor Foster is not os badly hart as was
reported; he escaped with a few severe cuts.
It is impossible to obtain the names of some
of the sufferers, the physicians prohibiting
any questioning.
The extent of the damage to the train
could not be seen until daylight. It was
then found that the cars that had been

SOME WASHINGTON GOSSIP
Relative to Changes la the President's
Cabinet, Ktc.
Mew Orleans Tlmes-Democrat.
Washington, April 5.—The prevalent feel
ing among leading Democrats is that Mr.
Thurmau will be called to the cabinet in the
event of a vacancy. Although no publio
man is supposed to be in Mr. Cleveland’s
confidence, and while none pretend to Bpeak
by authority, the impression prevails that
the President realizes the party sentiment as
to Mr. Thurman and would now be glad to
respond to it.
There is no longer a doubt that Mr. Man
ning will retire. Little or no eredenoe is
attached to tbe report of a quarrel between

BLOODY BIOT AT LAREDO.
Over On, Hundred Men Kngagtel—The Riot |
ONetted by United State, Troop*.
Gai.vi»ton, April 8.—A special to tho
News from Laredo says tbe inteneo excite-
meat and lawleeanoss which hoe prevailed
there tbe pest fortnight culminated' last
evening in a bloody riot The immediate
cause is attributed by many to a circular
which appeared yesterday morning an
nouncing that tbo Democratic party would
bold funeral services at 4 o’clock in tho af
ternoon over tbe purty known here as the
' iInarches." Directly after the appearance
f the circular it was announced
that tho “Uuarobca" party would prevent
by force any aueh demonstration. At 4
o'clock tho streets leading to tbo point
whence the Democratic procession was to
start wero blockaded with armed men.
For bnlt an hour the suspense was intolera
ble. It was tben announced thnt there
would tie no effort to bury an effigy of tlie
defeated party. This had a pacific effect
and the crowd began to disperse. Sud
denly the music of the Democrats' band
.track np and a procession moved out to
and down the main street and turned
into a street leading to the main plaza.
When the head of the column reached the
froDt of Martin's store a party of men,
armed with Winchesters and revolvers,
barged the procession. Instantly over
one hundred men became engaged in a
deadly conflict, and for half an hour a reg
ular battle raged along tho street near the
river. During the height of the conflict a
small cannon, which bad been used by the
“Huarcbea" party end which is said to
have been charged with nails and stones,
was fired down the street.
By 5 o'clock the mob spirit was supreme,
and it waa feared women and children
would be at the mercy of the rioters. At
this critical moment word waa dispatched
to Colonel Barnard, commandant at Fort
McIntosh, that tbe heavy firing in tlio city
was ceased by sn attack of Mexicans from
the other aide of the Rio Grande. It took
but a few momenta to doubla-quiok two
companies of infantry to tbe town, before
